Hard cap and hard ceiling and revenue sharing is only idea to secure equity and even playing field per former MLB best guy

Revenue sharing is simply propping up franchises that should not be in existence or at least shouldn't exist in their current location.

A hard cap is not needed.

man…… you guys do a great job of finding things to talk about with nothing really going on. The posters on this board definitely love this team and this game. Keep it going. Times are tough but it’s nice to get updates.

In following twitter today I have learned that there are some people who either are completely ignorant about depreciation and amortization, or they are being very deceptive about it.

If the players are mostly concerned with the younger guys, the league should offer to give them what they want in bonus for pre-arb guys, and meet them well past half way on a new minimum salary, in exchange for only a slight increase in the CBT threshold. That would give the players what they say they are looking for, for the young players. If they refused it would expose them as not being honest about mainly looking out for the young guys.

As they help grow the business, think they want a piece of the revenue. Not sure this is wrong but hate to have baseball held hostage.
So if they expand playoffs increasing revenue i would think the players would want to profit from that

Really hard to tell if a lot of progress is being made but they are in OT mode right now

I have just heard a lot of rhetoric about how the MLBPA wants to help the younger guys most of all. Well, that proposal I offered helps them tremendously.

They need to be working on core issues for it to be really beneficial.

Well that may be so. I just think if the franchises are greatly increasing in worth and revenue they would want to raise the “cap” on the outflow into players hands and potentially pension/ benefit packages.

I haven't heard it mentioned as anything other than one of multiple aspects of what they are hoping to achieve.

If you were in charge of the MLBPA would you accept my proposal?
